Liberman: I support two states, Sissi speech was opportunity
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNewly sworn-in Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman touts his pro-peace credentials in a Knesset address, hailing a recent speech by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi urging Israelis and Palestinians to return to talks as “a real opportunity.”
“I agree to two states for two peoples,” Liberman says, according to Walla. “I was very supportive of [Netanyahu’s 2009] Bar-Ilan speech; Sissi’s speech was important and created a real opportunity and we must try to rise to the challenge. Even the Arab Initiative has positive elements that allow for dialogue.”
